In this segment, Jim and Scott have a conversation with Dr. Steve Fasko, a Personal Services expert (PHD Dissertation was focused on Personal Services Contracting - see links to his articles below) with DAU.  In Part 1 of this series, Dr. Fasko provides an overview of the topic to prepare us for the series on this highly mismanaged area. If you would like to reach out to Dr Fasko for more information, please contact him at [email protected] - he is available for workshops, seminars, consulting, on personal services and other topics.
